Operating Instructions

Safety Information

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. 

This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground)
prong from the power cord.

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance.
If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service
technician install an outlet near the appliance. (See 

WARNING—

EXTENSION CORDS

section.)

For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet
to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit
breaker.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

WARNING!

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.
